Homelessness charity distances itself after Osbourne says she plans to attend far-right ‘unite the kingdom’ march
The homelessness charity Centrepoint has confirmed it will cut ties with its celebrity ambassador Sharon Osbourne after she expressed support for a far-right rally being organised by Tommy Robinson.
The charity, of which the Prince of Wales is patron, has been forced to distance itself from comments made by Osbourne. The TV personality indicated this week that she would be attending an event organised in London by Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon.
The rightwing agitator has been using social media to promote his “unite the kingdom” rally. Replying to a post about the event, Osbourne used her official Instagram account to leave a comment saying: “see you at the march”.
In response, Centrepoint, which had recently hired Osborne as a contracted ambassador for a campaign, said: “This sort of event does not align with our values”.
